Robert B. Campbell was born July 2, 1944 to Beatrice and Albert in Hartsville, SC. He was

the second of three children, his oldest brother James (deceased) and his baby sister

Dorothy “Dot.” After marrying Emily Deary of San Antonio, TX they became parents to

with one of his best friend’s James Perry. Another activity he loved ‘come rain or shine’ was

fishing with his other best friend Gunny Howard (deceased.) He was a generous person that

always helped his family and friends in time of need. After graduating from Butler High

School Robert honorably served in the United States Air Force for 24 years as a radar

technician and traveled to four different continents. When his daughter Porshai asked him

which country he enjoyed living in the most he chuckled and responded, “England because

they speak English!”

Robert is survived by his wife Emily, his children Robert Jr., Cornelius, Malcolm, and

Porshai. Nine grandchildren Amanda, Gabrielle, Darius, Diviné, Ashira, Malcolm (Orlando),

Alex, Bryce, and Emily. One great grandchild Justice. His sister Dorothy, niece Nikia and
